How to Improve my Sim's Home?

I am building a home for my sim named Lisa and I want to at least have a second floor for her to have her children later on. My lot has the trait of natural light so I don't need windows, at least I don't think I need windows. Here are the floors I have right now:

This is her basement where I plan to have an indoor pool later on, All I have there right now is a litter box in case her cat goes downstairs and stairs to go up to the first floor.

This is where most of her stuff is. You notice that there are 8 rooms in total. Starting from the furthest back room there is a kitchen with a tile floor. I know I could get her better appliances and more appliances and I will but what is in that image is what I have right now. There are 2 doors from the kitchen into the dining room in which is just a table with 6 chairs. From there there is yet another door that leads to the hallway. The hallway connects directly to a room with a pet bed, a cat tree, and a piano. There are no doors from the hallway to that room. From that room you can go 2 ways. If you go in the direction of the kitchen, it leads you to a medical office. This is where Lisa keeps all her promotion items from her Doctor Career. She is currently at level 7 in that career, but I digress. In the other direction there is a bathroom with a bathtub, a toilet, a sink, and another litter box. From the hallway, if you go in that same direction you get to the living room where there is another table, a couch, a flatscreen TV, a bookshelf, and a couple of cat toys. If you continue to go in that direction there is a bedroom which is also a study. There is a frog there which Lisa caught herself. And outside is her garden. I know those plants need tending to and I will let Lisa do that.

Here is the second floor:

I know, it is empty with no stairs or anything else.

So I was wondering, where on the first floor should I put the stairs that lead to the second floor? And how else can I improve this home?

  • You'll probably get a better answer in the Sims 4 section. You've posted in the sims 3 section. Not having sims 4, I can only answer from a sims 3 perspective. I'd put the stairs up to a 2d floor in the center hallway. I'd keep the second floor smaller than the first and incorporate balconies.
  • Oh my gosh, you're right. I posted a Sims 4 question in the Sims 3 section. I must have gotten mislead by the subforum's name being Builders.
